Mindful Ethics: Unyielding in the Face of Government Overreach—Help Me Spread the Word!

Dear Mindful Leader,

For months now, Mindful Ethics has stood as an unapologetic beacon on LinkedIn—a voice unflinching against the unethical, unrelenting in pursuit of truth.

I have dared to take on the powerful, the untouchable, and the ethically bankrupt.

Corporations have felt the sting of my words. But today, my battle is more personal, more urgent: I am taking on the dysfunction at the very heart of our government.

You’ve followed my story, many of you for years, and if you haven’t, I encourage you to read back issues of Mindful Ethics.

I won’t rehash the entire narrative here; I don’t have time to look back today (you can catch up and read about it yourself).

Instead, I’m focused on the fight ahead—because now, the retaliation is coming for my faith, my health, and my freedom to share my vision of unity with the world.

A Voice They Tried to Silence

Eight long months.

That’s how long the government attempted to gag my voice, to muzzle Mindful Ethics, and to prevent me from reaching you, my readers and talking to the press.

But I fought back. I stood firm, and I won. My platform remained strong, and my voice grew louder. Yet the battle didn’t end there. The retaliation began—and this time, it’s aimed at The Church of Unity.

For those unfamiliar, The Church of Unity is not just an organization; it is a movement. A faith-based initiative, it is rooted in the principles of global harmony, ethical living, and compassion. It aims to unite people of all backgrounds under shared values of love, empathy, and community. In a world divided by politics, prejudice, and power, The Church of Unity stands as a bridge, a sanctuary, and a call to action.

But this mission has made me a target. The very government that claims to protect our freedoms is standing in my way. They’ve weaponized bureaucracy, spreading dysfunction like a disease, trying to stifle this vision of hope and connection.

A Call to Action: Let’s Take This Story Further

I refuse to let them win.

My story needs to be told—and not just on the pages of Mindful Ethics (again read the back issues if this is confusing).

It needs to resonate beyond LinkedIn.

That’s why I’m embarking on a new mission: a Podcast Tour.

To every one of my connections, followers, and readers: I’m asking for your help.

If you host a podcast, manage one, or know someone in the podcasting world, reach out to me.

Send me a DM.

Let’s talk.

If you’re a journalist in the traditional news media, I challenge you to cover this story. Not just with your pen, but by giving me the opportunity to appear in front of the camera, to tell the story firsthand.

I don’t just want to discuss The Church of Unity—I need to.

I need to share how this government overreach has become an obstacle to faith, freedom, and ethics.

I need to highlight how this fight is not just mine but one that mirrors the struggles of countless others facing the same dysfunction.

This isn’t a plea—it’s a movement. Together, we can make this story impossible to ignore.

Why This Matters

Podcasts are where the real conversations happen.

They are uncensored, raw, and authentic.

They reach the ears of people hungry for more than soundbites and headlines. I want to sit down with hosts who aren’t afraid to ask tough questions, and who are willing to dive into the complexities of ethics, faith, and government interference.

My story isn’t just about me; it’s about shining a light on the dark corners of a broken system.

Let me make one thing clear: I’m not just fighting for The Church of Unity.

I’m fighting for every voice that’s been silenced, every dream that’s been deferred by a government too lost in dysfunction to see the harm it’s causing.

The Bigger Picture: A Vision for Unity

The Church of Unity is a radical idea in its simplicity: love, empathy, and community can bring us together. Imagine a world where these principles guide us instead of division and greed.

That’s what I’m building, and that’s what’s under attack.

But as with every great movement, obstacles only strengthen our resolve.

I believe in the power of stories to change the world. And this is where you come in.

How You Can Help

1. Podcast Hosts: If you run a podcast, let’s collaborate. I’ll bring my story, my passion, and my commitment to ethical living.
2. Podcast Managers: If you manage a podcast for someone, connect me with them. I’m ready to share this mission with their audience.
3. Connections: If you know a host or producer, introduce me. Let them know this is a story worth telling.
4. Journalists: Cover this fight. Bring cameras. Let me speak directly to your audience about the challenges and the vision of The Church of Unity.

I’m ready to sit across from anyone willing to amplify this story. Let’s make it happen.

A Final Word

Mindful Ethics has been more than a newsletter; it’s been a lifeline, a platform for truth in a world starving for it.

Today, I ask you to be part of this journey. Let’s ensure this story reaches every ear, every eye, and every heart that needs to hear it.

To the government trying to stand in my way, know this: You will not silence me. You may slow me down, but you cannot stop what’s already in motion. The Church of Unity is coming—and with it, a wave of compassion, ethics, and humanity that no dysfunction can destroy.

If you’re with me, DM me. Let’s light this fire together.

Until next time!

Stay well. Swim strong!

Warmly,

David

One More Thing . . .

As I recently retired as CEO of Project SunRize, I remain a trusted consigliere to my son, Evan, who now leads the company with the same dedication to excellence. Project SunRize is proudly donating 3% of all profits from commercial solar construction to The Church of Unity and 3% to The Council For Unity.

Here’s the kicker—100% of the cost for most solar energy systems can be covered by federal benefits (in most, but not all cases)!

Let Project SunRize prove to you it’s free!

Helping Project SunRize helps my church and also helps prevent violence in New York City Schools (via Council For Unity). If you know anyone who’s considering going solar, refer them to Project SunRize.

You’ll get a shark-sized royalty for your referral!

DM me, and I’ll personally make sure your message reaches the right person at SunRize.

Let’s build a brighter future, together!
